[b20] Mindslayer psionic wielding of two-handers is broken
Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2011 5:59 pm
This is a preemptive post for a bug found, reported and fixed on IRC. Here are the details of the bug:
If you are wielding a two-handed weapon in your PSIONIC_FOCUS slot, save and reload, the weapon in your slot is now unstable. If you try to remove it through any normal means the weapon will disappear, and even worse if you are trying to replace it with Telekinetic Grasp the replacement item will also disappear. So this means that in beta20 once you wield a two-handed weapon in your PSIONIC_FOCUS slot you should only remove it if you are ok with permanently losing it. Do NOT use Telekinetic Grasp to replace the unstable weapon since you will lose both items.
The way to avoid this is to use the attached patch file to permanently fix the problem. This patch will be incorporated in the next beta, but be aware that using it now will disable updating of your online profile so your character won't be updated online. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused, and hopefully we caught you BEFORE you lost your favorite weapon(s). Cheers.
